Today's word is PICARESQUE.
Picaresque [pik-uh-RESK] adjective:
of or relating to rogues or rascals; also: of, relating to, suggesting, or being a type of fiction dealing with the episodic adventures of a usually roguish protagonist

Today's word is CARP.
Carp [KAHRP] verb: to find fault or complain querulously
Example:
Maggie started bitching about her boss in front of her co-workers about how she did nothing but carp and interfere, never praising or encouraging her and even stealing her project ideas from time to time.
Haha another word that if you change it from a verb to a noun means something totally different. This is not carp the fish its carp like being a jerk to someone. Anyway I hope y'all had a great day. Its been so nice and sunny here this week. I hear its suppose to hit 61 and partly cloudy on Easter. RTFO!!! 3 evenings in a row I've walked 2 miles in right about 40 minutes. Now I know that may not sound like a fast time but hey it is to me Good night all!

Today's word is RASH.
Rash [RASH] adjective: marked by or proceeding from undue haste or lack of deliberation or caution
Example:
She didn't always think before she spoke and she sometimes paid dearly for her rash words and inconsiderate speech.
Did you know: The earliest known uses of "rash" (then spelled "rasch") occur in a northern dialect of 15th-century Middle English. Its earlier origins are not known for sure, though it is clearly related to a number of similar words in the Germanic languages, including Old High German "rasc" ("fast, hurried, strong, clever"), Old Norse "röskr" ("brave, vigorous"), and Middle Dutch "rasch" ("quick, nimble, agile, vigorous"). It is not, however, related to the English noun "rash" ("an eruption on the body," as in a "skin rash"). The noun "rash," which first appeared in English in the 1700s, comes by way of French and Vulgar Latin from Latin "rasus," the past participle of "radere" ("to scrape" or "to shave").
Now I bet y'all thought that this was like a rash on your skin huh. But because they make it an adjective and not a noun it changes the meaning of the word. The English language is very tricky like that! Bastards  Anyway I hope y'all have a great night.

Today's word is GROK.
Grok [GRAHK] verb: to understand profoundly and intuitively
Example:
The novel's protagonists are driven by a desire to grok their place in the grand scheme of the universe.
Ok just because this word is a big bizarre I have to share the "Did you know" part: "Grok" may be the only English word that derives from Martian. Yes, we do mean the language of the planet Mars. No, we're not getting spacey; we've just ventured into the realm of science fiction. "Grok" was introduced in Robert A. Heinlein's 1961 science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land. The book's main character, Valentine Michael Smith, is a Martian-raised human who comes to earth as an adult, bringing with him words from his native tongue and a unique perspective on the strange, strange ways of earthlings. "Grok" was quickly adopted by the youth culture of America and has since peppered the vernacular of those who grok it.
Not in the mood to talk tonight, hope y'all have a great night.

Today's word is RESILE.
Resile [rih-ZYLE] verb: recoil, retract; especially: to return to a prior position
Example:
She found him very frustrating to speak with and realized that he double talking and would say one thing then resile back to his original position if she called him out on it.
I hope I used it correctly. I had to read the did you know part to truly get this word. I thought it meant like say if you bent your leg then straightened it and then bent it back...recoil ya know. But no it has nothing to do with that, it generally applies to someone or something that withdraws from an agreement or "jumps back" from a stated position. Also its not used to much in the U.S. but more in British and Australian English. Interesting. Anyway my guy was only here over night but we still enjoyed each other. Well as much as we could with ummm...auntie flow here. Damn I hate having periods again!!! Oh well, he was understanding and we still had a good time just being naked and under the covers cuddling. I hope everyone is having a great Saturday!

Today's word is ATAVISM.
Atavism [AT-uh-viz-um] noun:
1a: recurrence in an organism of a trait of character typical of an ancestral form and usually due to genetic recombination
b: recurrence of or reversion to a past style, manner, outlook, approach, or activity
2: one that manifests atavism: throwback
Example:
"He was a magnificent atavism, a man so purely primitive that he was of the type that came into the world before the development of the moral nature." - From Jack London's 1904 novel The Sea-Wolf
What an odd word. Its a term rooted in evolutionary study, referring to instances when an organism possesses traits closer to a more remote ancestor, rather than its own parents. That sense dates to the early part of the 19th century. The word's figurative sense is a more recent development. These days one might describe a building that looks like it's from an earlier era as an atavism, or (though some people might cringe at this) apply the word to activities like reading actual paper books in the age of electronics.
Anyway I'm getting ready to see my guy tonight as he passes through town on his way home. I'm so excited to see him and will enjoy being close to him and of course naked with him for a while tonight. Hope y'all have a great Friday night
